“Estuas” explores a parallel world of artificial intelligence and generative transmissions of life from estuarine ecosystems as a metaphor for synthesis. Live satellite signals are recomposed from space broadcasts to structure a soundscape eclipsed by silence. The satellite remapping of image details collides with multidimensional formed creatures allowing convergence to occur between sonic and image. This multilayered experience culminates in the emergence of synthetic macrocosm and microcosmic amalgamations emblematic of systems teeming with life.
